Cadwork has been in the process of development since 1980, and has been a leading 3D CAD/CAM software supplier in the field of timber construction for more than 20 years.

With nearly 2000 clients and more than 5000 licences installed in the field of timber construction alone, Cadwork can now cover substantial sections of the market place.

Our range of products comprises not only timber construction but all areas of steel, solid and exhibition construction - including cabinet-making -required for planning, 3D design & production.

Since 1988, a total of 14 commercial centres and marketing branches have been set up in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France and Canada. A total of 60 employees is employed in these development, sales, training & support centres.

cadwork - the 3D CAD/CAM system for all fields of timber construction. High compatibility, high flexibility and user-friendliness - these are some of the main properties the 3D CAD/CAM system cadwork stands for. The application possibilities range from architecture, construction, part lists, plan design up to data export for all current kinds of multi function bridges and timber cutting machines. There are more than 1700 customers from all fields of timber construction successfully working with the cadwork system (5400 licences). More than 20 years of experience in software development result in a highly reliable solution for all building systems. The complete system, documentation, training videos as well as the hotline is available in the Polish language.

Cadwork Variant - Parametrised catalogues

Functionalities for graphics creation of variants correspond to the mode of operation of standard CAD designs. A recorder is simultaneously running which records progress in work and samples the variable names. This reduces the integration workload to the minimum.
In the preparation process, not only geometrical and text variables but also mathematical, algebraical and trigonometric computing operations are available.
Building sections generated with Variant can be read into 2D or directly into 3D at any time. The entire geometry of the variant design is modified by the entry of the parameters which you have established. All parameters are entered as values or are extracted from the existing design.
Typical fields of application for cadwork Variant are roof, shelf and shed designs, laminated constructions or groups of fasteners.
Gluelam constructions
The cadwork Gluelam module is integrated into cadwork. On the basis of the profile of any desired laminated beams, Lamelle divisions and Lamelle lists are automatically computed with the exact blank dimensions of the Lamelle.
The illustration and sizing of the press bed is also performed automatically. Each Lamelle can be extended individually and is dynamically matched to the curved or developed view.
In computing, the widest range of boundary conditions can be taken into account. The following are some examples:
Lamelle length
Graduation lengths
Reference joint
Press bed limit stops
Lamelle sorting categories
Dry joints
Mode of glueing
User-definable output format, e.g. for the Lamelle blank
Blank dimensions and computing of waste
